Trusted shower tray repair in Monkscross

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Shower tray repair in Monkscross without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We are frequently asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that flexes, across stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Monkscross as everywhere else we work.

Monkscross: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Monkscross?

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Repair or replace in Monkscross?

A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Monkscross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

Materials we work on in Monkscross

  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
